[edit] Famous Landmarks
- Saint-Pierre College was erected in 1745 where an ancient Gothique church used to stand, having been destroyed by fire. The interior is beautiful and sumptuous. We can admire the intricate woodwork of the 18th century. The wooden panels, Louis XVth style, are where the confessionals are located, ornated with different motives. The pulpit has Saint Peter sculpted in it and contains a master organ.
